Love your scrappy string block quilts. I have made 3 and always used a foundation.

Beautiful quilts, seems to me the scraps just keep growing. I made 8 last year and after making about 14 more quilts, I have lots and lots of scraps.

Very pretty. Your scrap pile makes mine look pretty wimpy. Guess I had better collect for a spell more.

Thanks for all the comments!

Good to know...have a lot of already 'pieced' scraps from prior projects and think just sewing them to something else is definitely going to be a time saver...already have scraps separated in huge ziploc storage bags by (kinda) color...guess I'll just reach in to a bag at a time...woo hoo...inspiration! Thank you!!!!
